I'm running Opera on NetBSD 6.1 and it's faster than some native X11 apps. what's your point?

is anyone aware of similar articles for any of the BSD flavors or other operating systems?

I'm by no means an economic expert, but more of these discussions need more discussion about "natural monopoly" anyone here against the idea that the last-mile/access network is a natural monopoly?

it is shockingly hungry (compared to something like BSDRP), and sadly out of date (tracking 8? que?!)

all five cables landing at that tiny country in the Horn of Africa, Djibouti? they terminate into half a floor of a single building about 150ft from the shoreline. the NSA has been tapping submarine optical cables since the early nineties.

...what? in all seriousness: I would love to understand your reasoning behind this.

why should it be top down? that's quite unamerican, in my opinion! one of the numerous cities, counties, and towns of various sizes and locales can develop solutions that may apply outside of their specific jurisdiction. the very &quot

"are you going in the same direction? would you like to split cab fare?" is usually how it goes, depending on the local dialect.

who did your photography and how difficult was it to get permission to shoot inside the datacenter you colocate at? the shots are excellently done.

before you gleefully skip into the panacea geo-DNS has been marketed as, please take a quick skim of this 2009 paper[1] from microsoft research about mobile clients and geolocation. has it gotten better in five years? is an exercise left fo

by pyvpx 12y ago
sure, 80-90% of the time you get exactly what you want. but depending on your application and use-case, 10% can be a deal breaker of sorts. not that Geo location from notoriously inaccurate whois data is any better.

anycast does not route to the geographically nearest datacenter but the topologically nearest. anycast is great, but it isn't magic. I get it: you have marketing folks that probably specifically told you not to delve into the details b

yes, it should. should that shouldness be codified into law and help entrenched market participants stay entrenched? because while I do see millions spent on bank software security, wellsfargo.com is still an enormous joke.

I can attest as an American in Berlin -- Germans are VERY serious about their privacy. this is especially true when related to the network/internets.

lack of network diversity?! surely you're joking. edit: as an afterthought I invite you to visit peeringdb.com, carefully following the instructions, and then compare AS7843 with AS2906. I find the recent breadth of AS714 thought provo

I fail to see how you find someone like Level3 or Cogent more powerful than Comcast. I'd like to understand your reasoning behind such a position. Comcast is insanely powerful: somewhat because of the eyeballs they have on their networ

yeah, I too thought the EU was the land of (regulation) milk and honey yet in Germany you have Deutsche Telekom and those that resell Deutsche Telekom with non-performance related value adds. funny how the blau.de "3.5G" connectio

having seen the price increases as a user over the past four years, I can't imagine them shutting down for any reason. they should be sleeping on a bed of cash (I hope)
